Democrats Warn: Immunity Decision Will Let Presidents Go After Political Opponents

[Marener]

Yes. Seem you don't, because it does not negate the fact your cult leader agreed with the wise latina that he's "a king above the law."

I agree with it as well.

These justices tried to present this result but the conservative majority did this to us.

This is the part you are confused about.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

The President, acting in any official capacity, now has absolute immunity to prosecution.

Not, "Unless impeached afterward". As far as I can tell. Absolutely and forever.

This is indeed the space carved out today. To say so in any way cannot be an exaggeration. Absolute is absolute. No example is too crazy. Yes, a president can now order his staff to commit illegal acts with total impunity, at all times, when done in an official capacity. The president can it's their duty, and part of their job, and voila. Immunity.

Immunity for him, but NOT for them. Of course. The Trump Way.

 

[Rawley]

I agree with it as well.

This is the part you are confused about.

Here you go - a chance to show you understand that words have meaning. Cite the words from the majority that supports Biden's claim that he is "a king above the law."

Sotomayor already do so far better than I could ever manage with her dissent.

Didn't think you could do it.

 

[Marener]

Didn't think you could do it.

You’re a poppy head. I win.

 

[Rawley]

You’re a poppy head. I win.

QED. Have a blessed day

 

[Marener]

QED. Have a blessed day

I cannot explain anything to you. You have closed your mind.

Haha sovereign immunity is older then the us constitution.

There are a few things from Great Britain that the framers chose not to put in the drafts of the constitution. Please try not to stray to far with thoughts like you express here. You'll be in danger of being in sync with the sovereign citizen movement.

sovereign immunity​

Definition​

The sovereign immunity refers to the fact that the government cannot be sued without its consent.

Overview​

Sovereign immunity was derived from British common law doctrine based on the idea that the King could do no wrong. In the United States, sovereign immunity typically applies to the federal government and state government, but not to municipalities. Federal and state governments, however, have the ability to waive their sovereign immunity. The federal government did this when it passed the Federal Tort Claims Act, which waived federal immunity for numerous types of torts claims.

Various Considerations Related to Federal Immunity​

Under the Feres Doctrine, those who are injured during their military service cannot sue the federal government.
Under the Westfall Act, federal employees cannot be sued for torts committed during the scope of their employment .

Huh? Sovereign immunity has been part of our system since it’s founding. The concept like many other legal principals were brought from English common law

It has nothing to do with the soveign citizen nonsense

The terms sovereign and sovereignty have led people astray. Especially people who focus on English common law, as if they really understand it. Careful.

Kings were above the law. Then they were not. Presidents and immunity? People keep saying they're looking for it in the US Constitution.

Sovereign immunity refers to the govt. the govt of the United States, and each 50 state has it. The president is 1/3 of the federal govt, all executive power vest in him. He has it in acting in acting in his official capacity. It’s why one has never been tried for murder when an innocent man was executed or assault when he sent in DEA agents to arrest someone, or trying to enforce federal election law…

thank you

not sure what you're going on about

 

[scruffy]

This president is ALREADY going after political opponents.

He didn't even have the common decency to wait for a SCOTUS ruling.

[justoffal]

They’re not losing on merits. Conservative justices are giving Trump a get out of jail free card.

The entire supreme Court is telling States AG they cannot insert themselves into federal election processes using the state court system that's all.
K Jackson voted on this too you know.

 

[horselightning]

Like Biden has been going after his opponent.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Like Biden has been going after his opponent.

No, that's actually legal. So nothing like that at all.
